libhdf4g

The Hierarchical Data Format library -- library package

HDF is a multi-object file format for storing and transferring
graphical and numerical data mainly used in scientific computing.
HDF supports several different data models, including multidimensional
arrays, raster images, and tables.
Each defines a specific aggregate data type and provides an API for
reading, writing, and organizing the data and metadata. New data models
can be added by the HDF developers or users.
